Volume 1 The Heart of Guardian Chapter 5 The Scavengers

In 2087 AD, Huaxia Guoyin filled the city

Ten years ago, the Chinese army completely cleaned up Yinchong City, rejuvenating Yinchong City and turning it into a city where people can live.

At the very edge of the western urban area of Yinchong City, a 50-meter-high building stands here. The exterior of the building is extremely hard, surrounded by several automatic turrets around the edges, protecting the building. Here, it is the Mercenary Association of Yinchong City.

Mercenaries have become a permitted existence in today's Huaxia Kingdom and even the world. And in the war against the giant insects, the mercenaries played a crucial role.

If the role of the army is to fight against the giant insects, fight on the front-line battlefield, and protect the security of the country, then the role of the mercenaries is to protect the safety of the city and maintain order within the city. So every city has a building of the Mercenary Guild.

The 50-meter-high building has a total of 10 floors, and there is also a huge space 50 meters deep underneath the building, which is used to store the equipment of the mercenaries, such as fighters, chariots, and mechs.

In the Mercenary Association, all employees and mercenaries must be strictly inspected by the military, and since they are mercenaries, of course, they will also be hired, which is also the main source of income for mercenaries.

After all, in the war with the giant insect body, ordinary people who have no power are undoubtedly the most helpless, so they can pay to publish tasks in the mercenary association, but each task will be strictly reviewed by the military, so as to avoid some vexatious tasks.

Of course, at critical moments, mercenaries must unconditionally accept employment from the military. Because the war with the giant insect body is related to the survival of mankind, the mercenaries as an assembly organization naturally cannot stay out of the matter.

Except for mercenaries and the military, no one is allowed to possess weapons of mass destruction, after all, no one knows if there will be a few insanities during the war years.

The first floor of the building is a place where the mercenaries gather for communication, similar to a "tavern".

Today's mercenary association is as lively as ever. Lan Zihan, who was at the front desk, had shoulder-length short hair and light makeup, and her eyes looked at a group of male mercenaries in shabby camouflage uniforms eating various delicacies on the table, and she couldn't help but feel speechless for a while.

Although this group of mercenaries are very good, they really don't look good, but this is understandable, these mercenaries have just completed their mission and escorted their employers to Longjing City.

Although the work of mercenaries is not as dangerous as the army, there is still the possibility of sacrifice in doing things, and the slightly difficult tasks may be life-threatening, since they can come back alive, they must be chic.

There are about 60,000 citizens in Yinchong City today, but before the invasion of giant insects, there were more than 700,000 people here. Now that it has been rebuilt, the number of people living here is not one-tenth of what it used to be.

Lan Zihan looked at a message from the military on the computer, just yesterday, a mercenary from Yinchong City was killed by a hidden giant insect body and sacrificed when he was carrying out a C-level danger zone cleaning mission with the military.

Of the 356 mercenaries registered by the Silver Charge Mercenary Association, there is one less......

Lan Zihan sighed, she glanced at the surveillance, and saw a figure walking towards the door of the mercenary building, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

A camouflage man who was eating on the table grabbed the plate and found that the meat on the plate was gone, and he couldn't help shouting: "Sister Zihan, bring me another plate of spicy roast duck." ”

After two or three seconds, the camouflage man didn't hear Lan Zihan's response, he looked at Lan Zihan dissatisfied, but found that her eyes were looking in the direction of the door in surprise.

"Da Da Da ......"

There was a sound of slow footsteps, and the lively mercenary association suddenly fell silent at this time, and all eyes looked at the source of the footsteps.

At this time, a man in black with a height of one meter seven or eight and a pig's head mask slowly walked towards Lan Zihan.

"Welcome Mr. Ita."

On the first floor of the mercenary building, Lan Zihan's crisp voice sounded.

"Ita? He actually came? Is it the weekend today? ”

A voice was surprised, and when he heard this, the camouflage man asked puzzledly, "Who is Ita?" ”

"You don't even know that?"

The man explained, "He's a celebrity in our Silver City Mercenary Association. ”

"Half a year ago, dressed in black and wearing a pig's head mask, he passed the assessment of our mercenary association to become a mercenary, and he would come to the association every Saturday to receive the highest value task, which would be completed by Monday."

"Every week, there has never been a mission failure."

"He has a title, called 'Scavenger', it is said that his mecha is an abandoned mecha that he found in the danger zone that even the military doesn't want, and he transformed it by himself, so that the mecha that the military doesn't want can act."

"Relying on a mecha that can barely move, he has completed all the most difficult tasks of our guild in the past six months."

"I'll go!"

The camouflage man was shocked.

"He is the male god of most girls, mysterious and powerful."

Someone took a sip of beer with envy on his face.

Suddenly, the camouflage man said, "He only came on the weekend, so he won't be a student." ”

Hearing this, the people around him laughed, and the person next to the camouflage man laughed the most, he patted the camouflage man on the shoulder and said, "Brother, how is it possible for a student to complete so many difficult tasks in the association?" ”

You must know that the reconstruction time of Yinchong City is only ten years, and there is no university in Yinchong City now, and if you are a student, you will only be a high school student at most.

"I don't even know if the name 'Ita' is true, mercenaries are allowed to use pseudonyms, and it is estimated that only the military in charge of the mercenary assessment knows where this Ita is sacred."

The people in the union chattered and discussed, Ita didn't look at them, he took out his mobile phone, opened the platform of the mercenary software, and sent the mission application information to Lan Zihan.

The Mercenary Association has its own platform software, on which mercenaries can book tasks, but each time before and after completing the task, they must come to the association to confirm, that is, a person who authenticates himself, determines the reservation of the task, performs the task, and finally completes the task to receive the reward.

Because Ita doesn't want to reveal personal information, only the president of the Silver City Mercenary Association can determine Ita's identity, and the president of each city mercenary association is a member of the military.

"Mr. Ita, please come with me, President Lee is on the tenth floor."

Ita followed Lan Zihan into the elevator, and the others were still discussing.

On the top floor of the Mercenary Building, Lan Zihan said at the door of the president's office: "Mr. Ita, as you know, I don't have the authority to go to the president's office. ”

Ita nodded slightly, and Lan Zihan walked back to the elevator with some loss...... For a long time, Mr. Ita didn't say a word to her.

After Lan Zihan left, the door to the office opened by itself, and Ita walked in as usual.

Although the space of the president's office is large, the costume is very simple, and a man who is nearly two meters tall has his back to Ita and looks at the scene fifty meters high outside the glass.

Yinchong City is the easternmost coastal city in China, and the Mercenary Building is in the westernmost part of Yinchong City, so you can't see a little sea water, only the dilapidated city outside the edge of Yinchong City that has not been rebuilt.

"I don't know when this war will end."

As if talking to Ita, as if talking to himself, the tall man sighed, his legs and feet seemed to have been injured, and limped back to his desk and sat down in his chair.

"If this leg wasn't lame, I wouldn't have retreated to the second line, and I would be the head of this mercenary."

The tall man smiled bitterly, Ita stood in place, looked at the man and said lightly: "Li Mingda, you don't have to tell me this useless every time. ”

Ita's voice sounded very young, and there was even a hint of indescribable feeling, which made people listen to what he said quietly.

"Ling An."

Li Mingda stared at Ita and said his real name.

"Treat elders politely."

Hearing this, Ling An didn't react at all, and didn't seem to want to deal with him. Li Mingda could only say helplessly: "Let's record a fingerprint, just go on a mission, and don't look at the rest." ”

As far as this character is concerned, there is no doubt about me.

Well?

Li Mingda suddenly looked at the task that Ling An received, and then looked at Ling An, showing a very strange expression, and said secretly: "It turned out to be this task?" ”

He took out his mobile phone to open the mercenary platform, and used the power of the president to check the task list of the Longjing Mercenary Association. Li Mingda opens one of the tasks, and the task information is as follows:

"A junior training team of Mingwei University in Longjing City, when they were conducting actual combat training in Dongchuan City, a C-level dangerous area, encountered an unexpected situation, and many giant insects attacked the training team of Mingwei University, and a teacher and five students of Mingwei University were missing."

"Mission requirements: determine the condition of the training team and rescue the survivors as much as possible; Rewards: 500,000 for confirming the status and 1 million for each survivor rescued. ”

"Task Published by: Mingwei University".

Generally, mercenaries can only receive tasks in their own cities, and the tasks of Longjing City, the mercenaries of Yinchong City naturally cannot receive them, but ......

After reading this task, Li Mingda looked at the task that Ita received, which was as follows:

"In the actual combat experience of Mingwei University, the dog Rowan was attacked by a giant insect body, and his life and death are unknown, so he issued a mission to ask the mercenaries to go to Dongchuan City to rescue him. Reward: 800,000. ”

"Task Publisher: Luo Juncheng".

Looking at these two tasks with almost the same goal, Li Mingda became interested, but he didn't expect that in the training team of Mingwei University in Longjing City, there was a student's parents in Yinchong City, and he was also a rich man.

The two missions with the same purpose indicate that in Dongchuan City, Ling An will encounter mercenaries from Longjing City.

"That's interesting......"
